Replacement Tires. Any recommendations?

mikieguns5

Hi. Any tire experts out there? My minivan is on year 4. Time to replace the tires it seems. (at least the 2 in the back I am told). I see good sales at Sears but have no idea if these are any good. Any thoughts? thanks!!

I would check TireRack.com for consumer reviews. Take note of those from other members with minivans.

I recently got some Continentals for my '09 Grand Caravan based on a personal recommendation or two around here.

They are the True Contacts. I was afraid they might be too stiff since they have a high treadwear count, but so far so good. It's early days but they seem fine. They were around $115 at Walmart for a 16" tire, so your 17s would run a bit more.

When I lived in snow country, I ran Nokian WRG2s and really liked them. They were especially good in rain (nothing is going to really help a minivan much in snow). But they are pricey and can be hard to find.

I usually buy from Tire Rack. Why don't you consider replacing them with the same brand it served you well?

COSTCO is a great place to buy tires if you have one near you.

I agree.. If they have the tire you want, you usually can't beat their price.

If you have kids and a variable climate, might want to drop a few extra bucks on some Michelins. Generally good quality, wear and treads.

Tires are not something that you want to skimp on. Check reviews on brands that you like as well as what other van owners recommend.
